Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, semisweet chocolate chips, granulated sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder.

Step 2

Heat the mixture in the microwave on high for 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the butter is melted and the chocolate chips are mostly melted (about 1 to 1.5 minutes total).

Step 3

Stir the mixture until smooth and all the chocolate chips are fully melted.

Step 4

Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the bowl and mix thoroughly until combined.

Step 5

Microwave the mixture again for 30 to 45 seconds to ensure everything is fully warmed and smooth. Stir well to incorporate.

Step 6

Let the sauce cool slightly to your desired consistency before serving. The hot fudge will thicken as it cools.

Step 7

Drizzle over ice cream, cakes, or any dessert of your choice. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat gently in the microwave before serving.
